  And yet I managed to deliver over 200 newspapers in the snow when I were a lad, using a plastic sled.

  Wasn’t Napo basically screwed because the summer before was so hard on their resources that they just didn’t have enough left to pull through the winter?

  Context: both Hitler and Napoleon when trying to take on Russia, both miscalculated the Russian winter, while the natives kept retreating to grind the invading armies down.

    Russia did also make the same mistake when invading Finland.

    For further context, I get cold really easily and if I forget my jacket, it’s very uncomfortable.

    Napoleon began his retreat in October though.

      Mid-late October, and the cold weather started in November.

  I always err on the side of too much jacket. Done a lot of sweating and jacket-carrying.

    Go out with a full metal jacket in Hitler’s case
